Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Women in Indian society continue to face disadvantages compared to men. Firstly, a male child is preferred to a female child. The declining child sex ratio can witness it. The Census of 2011 shows that the child sex ratio declined to 919 from 929 in 2011. Secondly, women continue to be paid a lesser wage for the same work. Thirdly, the participation of women in politics is very low. Women representatives in the Lok Sabha merely crossed 10 per cent as recently as 2009.
Thus, the correct statement would be that women continue to face many disadvantages in Indian society.
